Foot pain can develop gradually over time and may interfere with walking, exercise, daily
activities, and overall quality of life. Conditions such as plantar fasciitis and Morton’s
neuroma are common causes of foot discomfort, often leading to heel pain, burning
sensations, tingling, numbness, or pain in the ball of the foot. Factors such as aging,
footwear choices, repetitive stress, standing for long periods, and certain health
conditions can contribute to or worsen these issues over time. Left untreated, chronic
foot pain may affect mobility, balance, and physical activity levels.
Join Weill Cornell Medicine, Cornell Tech and the Good Life on Roosevelt Island
Association (GLORIA) for a virtual session exploring common foot pathologies focusing
on conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Morton’s neuroma, flatfeet, and fungal nails. Our
session will include what these conditions are, common symptoms and causes, how
they are diagnosed, and practical approaches to treatment, pain management,
supportive footwear, stretching, and other strategies to improve foot health and mobility.

Join four specialists as they break down the science behind your wearable — what can wearables track, what “normal” looks like, how your body responds to exercise and stress, and when your device might be signaling something urgent.
